Deng Weixuan was sleepy-eyed and staggered, left the classroom, and went into the office to drink tea.

Xu Jin couldn't help it, and said: "Teacher Deng, take your time in the farm work at home, you can't delay the teaching work, and in more than a month, there will be the final exam, and you must always get some results." ”

"I know, I know. Deng Weixuan nodded again and again, yawned again and said: "In the past, there were 'busy holidays', but now there are none, it is really deadly......"

In addition to the winter and summer vacations, there is also a peculiar holiday called 'busy vacation', which is a holiday in the busy farming season, so that teachers can go home to do farm work, and students can also take a vacation to do some housework within their ability to reduce the burden on their parents.

Generally speaking, the busy vacation is once a semester, during the afternoon season and the most intense time for farm work in autumn, each time seven or eight days to ten days.

But since last year, the county has canceled the busy holidays.

Deng Weixuan's family has a lot of fields, his wife is not in good health, he has to teach and plough the fields, and he is as tired as a dog, so he misses the happy time when he used to have busy vacations.

At the beginning of the second class, Zhenhua paid attention to Deng Weixuan in his spare time in class, and found that he was sleeping on the lectern again, and the students were writing their homework.

It's no wonder that the quality of teaching at East Bay Primary School is not high, and it is really hell that such a teacher can teach good students.

At the same time, Zhenhua is also very glad that his parents are in good health and are not too old, so they took up the family's farming, otherwise, he would have to be the same as Deng Weixuan.

When he came home from school in the afternoon, Zhenhua helped his parents clean up the rapeseed on the threshing floor.

The rapeseed has been threshed, and now the rapeseed straw and rapeseed husks should be piled up and kept as pot grass, and the rapeseed should be cleaned and dried and returned to the house.

The family was busy until dark to clean up the threshing floor.

Chunlan also came home from school and put down her schoolbag to cook dinner.

At dinner, Chunlan brought up the old story again, saying that she didn't want to study anymore.

Zhenhua frowned: "You will graduate in another year, can't you persist for a year?"

Dad Zhao Chenghai said: "If you don't read it, you won't read it, just get a graduation certificate." It's so busy at home, it's good to go home and take a hand!"

Zhenhua put down his job and said, "Dad, you don't let me work and become a private teacher, but you let Chunlan not study and go home to farm." This is patriarchy, Chunlan will blame you if she understands it in the future. ”

Zhao Chenghai glared at his son, and stopped talking.

He is indeed patriarchal, and indeed as Zhenhua said, he would rather Chunlan go home to help without studying, and he would also support Zhenhua as a private teacher.

But Zhenhua directly broke his mind, which made him a little embarrassed and angry.

Chunlan hurriedly said: "No, no, no, I don't want to study, no one blames me." ”

Cui Hong also sighed and said, "Since you can't read it, let's come back to work." The girl's family can also go to junior high school. There are many girls in the village who are as old as you, and there are many who have never gone to school. ”

Chunlan was happy: "Okay, I'll say hello to the teachers and classmates tomorrow and I'll be back!"

Zhenhua was lonely and had to give up.

After dinner, Zhenhua took a shower, and when he was about to rest, Qi Lei brought Zhuang Xiaodie to visit the door.

"How about Zhenhua, isn't teaching fun?" asked Qi Lei with a grin.

"It's not fun. Zhenhua shook his head.

Today's one-day experience has made Zhenhua a little discouraged. Several teachers in the school, including the principal Xu Jin, still have a sense of responsibility, and the other three teachers are basically messing around, getting by and dealing with errands.

Qi Lei also sighed: "It's not fun, and farming is not fun, I am tired of cutting rape today." Tomorrow I will pick rape and come back, then cut the wheat, plough the field and plant seedlings......"

Zhenhua smiled: "Then you still come out to hang out, go back to sleep." ”

"You just came here and you drove me away, what do you mean? It's great to be a barefoot teacher!" Qi Lei glared, and suddenly said again: "By the way, Cui Ping is looking for me again today, let me ask you something." ”

"What's the matter?" Zhenhua was a little stunned.

"Guess what?" Qi Lei sold again.

"Don't guess, if you don't say it, pull it down!" Zhenhua was not angry.

"Hehe, Cui Ping asked me to ask you, will the primary school open a literacy class this year. If there is a literacy class, she enrolls it. ”

"Literacy class, how do I know?" Zhenhua shook his head, thought for a while, and said, "Wait until I ask Principal Xu tomorrow, and I'll tell you when I ask clearly." ”

Qi Lei nodded, chatted for a long time, and then took Zhuang Xiaodie home.

Life settled down like this, and the days slipped by day by day.

Zhenhua thought that as a private teacher, his life would change, but the truth was very helpless, life was still the same boring, and there were many more trivial things than before.

Moreover, Zhenhua also has more worries, worried about the learning and future of the children in his hometown.

Qi Lei and Zhuang Xiaodie are also hard at work, harvesting rapeseed and wheat, then planting seedlings, soybeans, peanuts and cotton.

Zhuang Xiaodie is also from the countryside, and she is not squeamish in her work, and she is even more neat than Qi Lei.

Qi Lei has also grown, this season is busy farming, learned to control the old ox, plough the field and harrow the field, and can barely operate independently.

Ten days after the Dragon Boat Festival, when the farming was about to end, Zhenhua received a letter from Zhang Kexiang from the south.

The letter was still sent to Qi Lei and asked Qi Lei to pass it on.

After receiving a letter from Zhang Kexiang again, Zhenhua's heart was already very calm.

When I opened the letter, the content inside was beyond Zhenhua's expectations. thought that Zhang Kexiang would refuse to contact him again, but who knows, Zhang Kexiang actually sent an invitation to himself and let him go to the south to work.

Zhang Kexiang said that thanks to Zhenhua's persistence, she is willing to continue, but she does not belong to Dongwan Village. Even if he marries Zhenhua, he will not stay in Dongwan Village.

Zhang Kexiang said that if Zhenhua really wants to be together, he will go to the south to find her, work together to save money, there are many opportunities for high wages in the south, and they can start a business together in the future.

Zhang Kexiang said that if Zhenhua can't leave, or is unwilling to go out to work, then the relationship between the two can only end here.

Zhenhua did not hesitate, nor did he discuss with his parents, and replied to Zhang Kexiang, saying that he had become a private teacher and could not leave, so he was really sorry.

In the reply letter, Zhenhua did not say how great he was, and said that he would give up everything for the children in his hometown and give up the opportunity to go out for development.

He just mentioned lightly that he had promised the old master that he would always teach in the primary school in his hometown.

Two days after the reply was sent, Zhenhua told his parents about it.

Cui Hong naturally sighed sadly, but she could only accept the reality. She likes Zhang Kexiang, but she doesn't want her son to work outside for a long time.

Zhao Chenghai also meant the same thing, and said: "Raising children to prevent old age, we are just one son, even if Zhenhua doesn't teach, we can't stay outside for the rest of our lives, right? If I really go to the south to work and don't come back for the rest of my life, what does it matter if I want this son and daughter-in-law?"

Qi Lei consulted with Zhenhua and asked, "Zhenhua, will you be angry that I took Fluttershy to the south to join Zhang Kexiang and work with her?"
